You should still be able to use the photo viewer:

(Unless I misunderstood and there was a photo organization tool in XP that I forgot about)

The one that can still be enabled is still not the original version that had the tools I'm thinking of; I've tried several guides to re-enable it and it does give me an older photo viewer, but never quite the one I had back in XP.

Windows is fairly good at running old EXEs. Trying spinning up an XP vm and just yanking the old photo viewer.
